What does the [sic]'s mean in this next paragraph?

Question

We had important jobs on what was then the largest private construction project in the world [i.e., Walt Disney World], and many of us blew off steam after work most days. One night I broke up a fight at Horne's between one of my guys and a construction worker. The construction guy took off, and I asked my guy what the problem was.
He said the construction worker said that Walt Disney had been a cocaine addict. He said the proof was that Walt Disney had invented Snow White and the Seven Dwarves [sic]. Snow White was cocaine, and the seven dwarves were the symptoms of various stages of cocaine addiction: Grumpy, Sleepy, Grouchy [sic], Dopey, Sneezy, Happy, and so forth.3

Answer 1

sic is added when the person who wrote it made a spelling or grammar mistake. It is added in translation so people know that it's not a typo.

Answer 2

Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus", "so", or "just as that". In writing, it is placed within square brackets and usually italicized — [sic] — to indicate that an incorrect or unusual spelling, phrase, punctuation, and/or other preceding quoted material is a verbatim reproduction of the quoted original and is not a transcription error.

Basically it means... The original writer did it incorrectly, and I realize that, but I'm not going to misquote my source.

Answer 3

Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus", "so", or "just as that". In writing, it is placed within square brackets and usually italicized — [sic] — to indicate that an incorrect or unusual spelling, phrase, punctuation, and/or other preceding quoted material is a verbatim reproduction of the quoted original and is not a transcription error.

Answer 4

[sic] means the typo or error was done by the original author of that piece of text.

In this case, [sic] points out that dwarves and grouchy are incorrect.

Answer 5

Like Yellow Dart doesn't know how to use "anymore" so I quote his nonsense to show how smart republicans are:
"Those awards shows are nothing but a forum for liberal actors to bash the president anymore [sic]." because it's used totally wrong.

Answer 6

I have understood it too mean that the original person who wrote either left out a word or misspelled it. Usually this is used in a quote.

Answer 7

When you see a [sic] it means "said in context" or that the spelling or grammar was incorrect

Answer 8

[sic] means "printed as written"

In this case, the man said "Dwarves" instead of "Dwarfs" - but the author used the man's original spelling, instead of correcting it.

Answer 9

Has to do with spelling of the word, previous to the {sic}
